Guest Reviews
- Iain (10/5): VERY relaxed stay in paradise - Think of the nicest place you’ve ever stayed then multiply it by 10 and you have Ranch Retreat. From the immaculate gardens to the spotlessly clean accommodation, it was just perfect in every way. Nothing
- Sophia (8/5): really good - The place was clean, modern and very comfortable. The host, Harvey was very friendly and helpful. Instead of a beach area we experienced the beautiful hills, the wildlife and the lovely horse. As we do most of our cooking for dinner at where we stay, gladwrap and alfoil would be a good addition. I was worried about using the vacuum so a broom would be great.
- Erica (10/5): -
- KARL (10/5): - Beautiful accommodation,spotlessly
- Shaya (10/5): Peaceful, beautiful and comfortable stay. - This is a gorgeous property that overlooks the mountains. It is close drive away to Trinity beach which makes it very convenient.
The place is very clean and well kept. It has a great kitchen and quality appliances. A very comfortable place to stay.
The owners are a friendly young family with an amazing property.
- Brooke (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jgw1616 (9/5): Superb - The patio is wonderful.
Everything is clean and well appointed, very comfortable.
The location and the view are exceptional. Could not fault anything
- Graham (10/5): Brilliant all round - Everything.
It is a lovely, lovely property in a beautiful quiet location.
Met Harvey and he’s a really nice guy who gave us great recommendations.
Just a shame we couldn’t stay longer.
Thanks so much. A very minor point only, but, ss a few other guests have mentioned, some blackout blinds on the bedroom window would be an improvement.
- Veronica (10/5): Exceptional - Ranch Retreat was beautiful accommodation, great space with excellent facilities. Lovely alfresco outdoor area, and the location was perfect for exploring this part of Queensland. Hosts were very nice and answered any questions promptly. Highly Recommended.
Will definitely be returning guests.
- Sarah (10/5): - This property was absolutely lovely! Set on a peaceful residential street with gated access, it offers beautiful views all around, especially from the backyard, where you can relax and take in the mountains, horses, and birdsong. The home is spotlessly clean with high-end furnishings and fixtures, and has everything you could possibly need, a real home away from home. I didn’t want to leave and only wish we’d booked a longer stay! It’s close to everything, a great shopping centre and beach — though a car is necessary. The owners are wonderful and live next door, so they’re nearby if you need anything. Highly recommend — you won’t be disappointed!
- Chanoksuda (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jason (10/5): Exceptional -
- Max (10/5): Exceptional - Large cottage, brand new, we loved it
- MAKELETA (10/5): - Check in was easy and apartment was clean. The kitchen was well stocked with all that you need and quite spacious. The outdoor seating area was lovely to sit out and watch the horses come by early morning. Tranquil and quiet. Would definitely recommend.
- Dafna (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful, comfortable, had all the amenities needed for a great stay, definitely recommended. Nothing
- Cassie (10/5): Exceptional - attention to detail, beautiful and relaxing space
- Lesley (10/5): - Fantastic property in a peaceful location overlooking the mountains. Really beautifully kitted out and had everything I needed. Spotlessly clean. Communication with the host was great and nice friendly welcome. Thanks for a fantastic stay!
- Lee (10/5): Peaceful Break from Beach Frenzy - Had a great stay at Ranch Retreat Kewarra Beach. New and very clean. Beautiful setting looking onto a mountain with wildlife noises aplenty. Visit from their horse in the morning was a treat. Hosts are very easy to communicate with and respectful of privacy. We appreciated the washing machine.
Bring your supplies with you (including milk), a small supermarket a couple of km down the road has basics.
Would stay again!
Thank you Harvey & Courtney
- Ryan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Aaron (10/5): Ranch Retreat was a fantastic place to stay with modern and comfortable amenities. Will stay again! - Great location. Very simple arrival/departure. Nice modern and clean amenities. Only suggestion for improvement would be the addition of black out curtains/blinds in the bedroom. This would make it easier for young ones to sleep during the day or adults to sleep in.
- Pendlebury (10/5): Awsome - Exceeded my expectations Nothing

- Patrick (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was easy and very comfortable. Thanks again for the awesome stay!
- Henry (10/5): Great place to stay in Palm Cove area - This property is very clean and new. All furniture and kitchenware are in great condition. The sofa bed in the living room is comfortable as well. Suitable for couple or small family. The horses in the backyard are a bonus. Nothing
- Gavin (10/5): Tranquil ranch retreat - Our stay at the ranch retreat was amazing despite being there during cyclone Jasper. Our stay was safe,secure, and peaceful. We spent our time watching the ever changing hills, and we were entertained by the horses' funny antics. The apartment was very comfortable with lovely modern furniture and a very comfortable bed. Harvey, the owner, was so lovely leaving us torches in case of power outages. Which thankfully we didn't need. He also checked in on us, making sure we were OK and seeing if we needed anything.
I highly recommend staying here.
- John (9/5): A much needed quiet retreat with great amenities after a long journey. - A lovely place for some quiet solitude just what we needed after 5 days on the road. Great amenities with plenty of room to put all our goods. Harvey the Owner/Manager was most helpful when needed. Just a little confusion on how the keyless entry locking mechanism works. The Manager was able to remedy the situation. The bathroom could maybe do with having a few pegs to hang clothes up near the doorless shower recess.
- Shahaf (10/5): Exceptional - Highly recommended.
This place is amazing!!!
The owners are soo nice, the apartment is beautiful and clean, the view is stunning, very close to the beach and the city, the beds were very comfortable. I will definitely come back.
- Mark (10/5): Wonderful accommodation and looking forward to staying there again in future. - The accommodation was immaculately clean and comfortable. The location looked out onto the mountains and was very peaceful and quiet. The hosts were very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Nothing!

- Jiaqing (10/5): It was a amazing place to live. - The couple were very nice and friendly. No
- Imogen (9/5): Superb -
- Sarah (10/5): - A beautiful spot - quiet, clean and a verys
- Chris (10/5): A secret gem - luxuriantly appointed with simplicity - complete "mini" home. - Everything! A beautifully appointed self-contained complete mini "home". Ghostly quiet at night - and dark - perfect. Extremely comfortable king size bed. Stunning bathroom. Well fitted out kitchen with all you need for cooking. Silent ceiling fans efficiently cool throughout, although air con is in all rooms (but wasn’t required). Friendly hosts discretely live next door and immediately reply to messages. Nothing. But note that you would require a car to stay here.
- Ryan (10/5): Excellent - Beautiful modern room with great views and ambience. Easy check in and out, private and comfortable. The horses were a big bonus! Couldn't be happier

- Kris (10/5): Beautiful retreat! - Beautiful country scenery, comfortable modern retreat with all the necessary amenities to ensure a fully self contained stay. Fantastic kitchen and the views from the back sitting area are absolutely stunning. Nice and quiet with friendly hosts who were readily available should you need them. This is the perfect place for downtime between site seeing and activities or simply for a reset of the mind. Can't wait to stay again! Nothing
- Rhiannon (10/5): 10/10 - After a few minor issues (not by fault of the host) and my own booking errors, the host went above and beyond to settle us in. The accommodation was immaculate, comfortable and quiet. We were visited by the host’s beautiful horses which was a highlight for my daughter. A lovely soft comfortable bed, generous shower and fluffy towels really made it feel like luxury. I would recommend this to those looking for somewhere calm and relaxing, but still so close to the beach. Thank you 💕
- Benjamin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Liane (10/5): - Beautiful place with beautiful outlook. Friendly horses out back came for a visit one morning too.
- Kirstin (10/5): Absolute dream getaway! - Our stay at Ranch Retreat was just what we needed. It's an absolutely stunning location. Close to everything you could possibly need without the noise of the city or loud, crowded, holiday resorts. The local shops are 2 mins away and the location provides a great launching pad for exploring the northern beaches of Cairns and beyond. The apartment itself is clean, modern, comfortable, and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. We cooked meals in the fully equipped kitchen and enjoyed sitting outside on the patio with the mountain backdrop, horse and native birds. Ranch Retreat is cleaner and quieter than a hotel. Check-in and check-out were super easy and communication was great before and during our stay. This is the place to stay if you want to explore Port Douglas, the Daintree, Kuranda and so on. Would suit a couple wanting a quiet getaway or a family. We were a family of adults visiting extended family in the area so it was great to be able to come home and cook a meal in between dining out at local restaurants. We also made use of the washing machine and drying rack. The internet was great. All four were able to use devices at the same time with no issues. I had to do a zoom for work at one stage and that worked perfectly too. Cannot speak highly enough of this place. Will definitely stay again next time we're in Cairns.
- Vinny (9/5): Superb - Perfect location to travel in between cairns and Port Douglas. Nice clean place. Was perfect for our small family.
